Pikachu: A discussion

[N64]

Oh uh. You can do it from about 15% until around 125%, assuming he doesn't DI off the stage by that point.

So I just got wrecked by Dogysamich for like 4 hours. I needs some comp(ik)assion.

 

[festizzio]

So uh, axe beat jman. he is absolute ****.

 

[wool]

So uh, axe beat jman. he is absolute ****.

His videos are freaking insane.

Today I got the short hop down from 20% of the time to 50% now. I felt so happy (lol). Oh and I had my first L-Cancel (lol again). I did a full hop --> jolt (here I realized my opponent was shielding before the jolt hit) so I then --> double jumped --> dair L-canceled --> ran, crouch canceld, up-smash --> K.O.

Yep, very simple to you guys but I was really happy

 

[tdk_Samurai]

gratz flibz, just keep up the practice and don't turn your back on pika fully. Don't pull a tope.

 

[AXE 09]

lol darn that tope. i got chain grabbed *sniffle*

flibz, don't give up! it's great that you're making progress =D

Festizzio, you're the freakin stuff lol

 

[wool]

Thanks tdk and AXE. Don't worry I won't pull a tope lol Pik's trucker hat is just too cool anyway.

 

[tdk_Samurai]

Thanks tdk and AXE. Don't worry I won't pull a tope lol Pik's trucker hat is just too cool anyway.

yea but the blue hat increases the range on your dash attack ;-)

 

[festizzio]

dash attack is only good when it's used with a different character

 

[tdk_Samurai]

dash attack is only good when it's used with a different character

qft 10 nods

 

[N64]

i disagree

 

[festizzio]

please enlighten us n64

 

[N64]

Well, it is pretty bad. But it'll use it for edgeguarding spacies if I can't make it to the edge with anything else. It goes through like everything, and if you hit them then you just run off and aerial while they firefox. You can also kiiinda use it to cover techcnase options, but usually there's a better option.

but don't just throw it out obviously. Suuuuper punishable.

 

[festizzio]

like when i mess up a shffl nair and dont jump and just dash attack their shield instead?

 

[N64]

or miss the jumpcancel in a jump cancel upsmash out of a dash.

stop copying my tactics festizzio. geez.

 

[festizzio]

oh man this is too funny

we're like the same person! think about it, you never see us in the same place.

 

[tdk_Samurai]

Due to my computer ****ing up, I had to add a song to the chad tomacawk set because the audio was unsynced by like a couple minutes or something, and frames kept getting dropped so there was a couple videos I have of me and chad and zigzag vs chad that you can't really appreciate watching. Unless someone really wants them up, I'm just gonna leave them alone.

 

[Zig-Zag!]

I cant believe the chad/zig footage isnt alive!

Good work on all this capturing, tdk. Thats Geno playing with me, not darkatma. Also, I wish that match where your teammate rested geno and I like 7 or 8 times was captured.

 

[wool]

Awesome vids, tdk. Fun to watch.

yea, I'm sorry and also upset about you and chads footage, prolly the fastest 2 pikas I've seen.


and I'll change that youtube vid info to geno in a bit

and yea, that match and the one right before where you ***** with yoshi even harder, I wish I woulda been recording those instead of your head, nothing against your head though ;-)

and thanks flibz

 

[N64]

fun matches to watch. i agree.

 

[-Chad-]

aah I'm not too worried about the lost footage heh.

I gotta get better with other characters : x At SMYM10 I lost to a jiggs and a ICs which made me sadsies. d-throw chaingrab to double smash made me uber sad.

 

[tdk_Samurai]

lol, yea I heard you talking about the jiggs matchup and how you can't really set up certain things you just have to bait them or somethin. (I believe thats what you were saying)


and yea, ICs are not fun to play against.

 

[festizzio]

jiggs is easy and so are ice climbers

 

[N64]

festizzio lies.

my pool at E52 had Hbox, raistlin, and idea.

what an annoying pool.

 

[-Chad-]

Ewww N64 that sounds horrible :x

Bad jiggs and bad ICs are easy. Bad anythings are easy.

 

[KirbyKaze]

Oh uh. You can do it from about 15% until around 125%, assuming he doesn't DI off the stage by that point.

Come to Canada.

RAISTLIN IS NOT HARD

when are people going to understand how to fight jiggs X_X

 

[N64]

well, hbox was the only one i lost to. But that doesn't mean the matchup isn't super annoying.

 

[festizzio]

i love fighting jiggs

 

[-Chad-]

Why?

This statement makes me want to play you with my Jiggs.

 

[N64]

How can you love just nairing and trying to bait for an entire match?

Festizzio, i thought we were twins man.

 

[festizzio]

Why?

This statement makes me want to play you with my Jiggs.

yeayuhz

fair works idk

space better and stuff

also, bthrow is funny!

 

[Pink Reaper]

I love that even after this time and after Brawl made Pikachu a much better character there's STILL a bunch of amazing Melee Pika players left like Chad, Festizzio, Nsuckstyfour and Axe. Too bad it's not the same with Kirby

 

[KirbyKaze]

Kirby is a large drop from Pikachu.

 

[-Chad-]

Melee Pika and Brawl Pika aren't the same Pika. I find no pleasure in Brawl Pika.

 

[Pink Reaper]

That's cus Brawl Pika, just like Brawl everything is chain grabs, ledge camping, spam and slowness

Also, Pikachad ***** me in doubles friendlies

 

[N64]

I agree with Chad. Brawl pika feels weird. Ssb64 pika feels weird to me too now. I can only play him in melee (and zomg he's so fun even after all this time in melee).

 

[festizzio]

all you pikachu'ers should go to pat's house

[tdk_Samurai]

[festizzio]

that didn't stop me from going to fast1
